HB 1515 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of December 7, 1982 (P.L.784, No.225), known as the Dog Law, providing for insurance.

HB 1515 amends Pennsylvania's 1982 Dog Law to require dog owners to carry liability insurance. This provision would directly affect dog owners, particularly those in areas with high dog population or where incidents like bites may occur. The key mechanism adds a new mandate that owners must maintain insurance coverage for damages resulting from dog-related incidents. The bill does not specify insurance coverage amounts or enforcement details.
